Which CPS?

Post by Doc53 » Thu Jun 12, 2025 7:12 pm

I have three radios each with the latest OpenGD77 firmware, a GD77, a TYT UV380 and a Baofeng DM-1701. Can I use the latest CPS for all three, or do I need separate CPS programs for each radio? Do I need different versions of the CPS dependent on the date of the latest firmware for each radio?

I have searched for the answer in this forum and in the manual, but I am not having any luck. Thank you.

CPS and codeplug are the same on all supported radio. The latest firmware date on all the radio you have mentioned are the same.

In addition to what KA1CM said about all supported radios using the same code plug and CPS, sometimes a newer firmware version will require a minimum CPS version to use with it - this is normally mentioned in the firmware release notice if such a requirement exists.

I first bought a DM1701, & installed the GD77 FW. Then a local programmed in his code plug. A week later I got a RT3S. Again I installed the GD77 FW, & wrote the saved 1701 code plug into the RT3S. This way I don’t have to save different code plugs for the different radios. GARY

Thank you everybody. All my firmware dates were different. I had put the test version on one radio and had a the previous version on another. My fault. I will fix that today. I did not know that the codeplugs were interchangeable. Great! This makes it much easier to keep track of three different radios. Stuart
